Birdfeeder in Snow

Good thing I bought another ten pounds of bird seeds the other day!

The leaning "stick" on the right side of the picture is a Tulip Poplar or Yellow Poplar that spontaneously manifested itself two feet from my house three years ago; I dug it up a few months ago and replanted it in the spot where a screen to my neighbor's backyard was welcome. Nothing wrong with my neighbor -- I'd just rather look at a tree than a house! This is a 'holding-your-breath' situation; if the tree leaves out and begins to grow again, I think its promise as a screen for the future is pretty secure!

About Me

A love of reading and a terrific high school teacher made me a writer, a book (Georgia Gardener's Guide, by Erica Glasener and Walter Reeves) made me a gardener, and a casual lunch with my friend Pat Bowen is the reason why I became a Certified Georgia Master Gardener. Since 2005, I have written monthly gardening columns for the Barrow-Jackson Journal, the Georgia Asian Times and The Nooze. I also write for a number of e-zines and for private clients - anything from LinkedIn profiles to web content to case studies, personal bios, corporate profiles, tag lines and more. A niche specialty is working with international scientists whose articles require the scrutiny of an extra set of eyes before they are published in professional journals.
My company, The Oliver/Sorano Group, Inc., handles marketing and PR projects for a variety of clients, and provides a home to Atlanta Women in Business.
